URGENT: AFA Alert:
Haider in Dublin: E-mail protests needed NOW!
The Philosophical Society in Trinity College Dublin have announced that they have invited the fascist Jφrg Haider, of the far right Austrian Freedom Party, to speak at a debate in the college on Thursday 10th April.
The meeting is scheduled to be held in the Graduate Memorial Building in TCD at 7.30pm tomorrow night.
The short notice is obviously an attempt to prevent protest against the visit. AFA is asking people to send messages opposing the Haiders invitation to the President of the Philosophical Society and to Trinity College at the contact points below.
Also listed as speakers at the debate are Ruairi Quinn, former leader of the Labour Party, and Bernard Durkan of Fine Gael. Since they appear willing to share a platform with a fascist they are worthy of questioning e-mails at ruairi.quinn@oireachtas.irlgov.ie and bernard.durkan@oireachtas.irlgov.ie
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT MESSAGES ARE SENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

In November 2002 the Historical Society in TCD were refused permission to invite the holocaust revisionist David Irving to a debate in the college. At the time College Security issued the following statement.
"A visit to College by Mr. Irving a number of years ago was cancelled for security and safety reasons. While I am sure that the Historical Society and the vast majority of the college community would act in a responsible manner during this proposed visit, it is well known that there are various elements within and outside College who would use every means at their disposal to disrupt the visit. I have to take into account the safety of every person on campus plus the security and care of College buildings and property. On these grounds, I regret to say, I would not be in favour of this visit taking place."
This point you may wish to include in your letter to TCD, as to why they are permitting Haider to attend now.

Aren't 100 million victims of marxism enough already???????
Go ahead with your agitprop. more people will see you for the vicious scum you are.
While I dont agree with Mr. Haiders politics, I believe that he like all others should be afforded the right of free speech, those that would deny him that right threaten the very foundations upon which our society stands.
www.fpp.co.uk Irving has to give his books away for free because the zionists who are behind this war dont like him. The lefties here are indirectly responsible for the war by aiding zionism by opposing the free speech of revisionists.
More like Nazis are snobby authortarian totalitarian dickheads.
Youz commie/jew loving filthz, we have wayz of dealing wiz you Haider iz only preaching wat other beautiful pearly white aryan leaders such as Pym unfortunate, Nick griffin preach, the purest form of true aryan lurve, leather joy boy lourve. Ze love of mein fuhrer for ze young golden boyz, ze love of pym unfortunate and nick griffin for ze young pearly white golden haired boyz. We have ze right to stop ze big black fellaz/jewz/papistz/mongrelz from stealink our boyfriendz.
Get out of Ireland, and go back to china you papist scum. We are sick and tired of your horrible protestor rabbles confronting your social and class superiors, know your place, you revolting papist working class council estate scum, need to be taught to KNOW YOUR PLACE.
OK, someone wants "freedom of speech" for the nazi asshole?
So, when the nazi asshole starts to speak, why not everyone who disagrees stand up and each deliver their own speech. LOUDLY.
Or, as Chairman Mao said, "Let a thousand flowers of thought contend".
Dr Frankenstein has reanimated the ANL specially for this occasion.
Dont obey any "orders" from ANL "stewards". Make sure that Haider is stopped.

'Former Austrian Freedom Party leader Jorg Haider will be adressing a debate on the European Union in Trinity College Dublins Philosophical Debating Society, on Thursday 10th, access is open only to society members unfortunatley.
There will probably be members of the the Students Socialist Workers Party Society protesting, who might like to have their picture taken if anyone is thinking of a career in photography.'
guess these revisionist muppets will be hanging about tonight.
